Pressure // Matty Healy

Two

I could barely sleep last night, I was dreading the party Matty had invited Jen and I to. Partying has never really been my thing. Especially with some guy we met on the street.

I finally make my way to the kitchen hoping Jen has forgotten the party.

"Hey girly you excited for the party tonight?" Jen says.

"I don't know if I'm going I didn't get much sleep last night and my head is killing me," I say hoping she won't care.

"Really Cami? Come on you're going. Tired? Nothing some Starbucks won't fix and we'll get some medicine for your headache on the way there. Go get dressed!"

"I love Starbucks so I have no problem going there but I refuse to go to that damn party," I say annoyed.

"Okay whatever," she says laughing.

We went to Starbucks and got breakfast. I was still tired when we got home so I took a nap. It's 8 and I just woke up.

"Hope your nap did you well, I went out while you were sleeping and brought us both new outfits for the party tonight," Jen says.

"Really? I said I'm not going."

"Come on you can test your cosmetology skills on me and yourself so just hush you're going!" Jen shouts as she walks out of my room.

I turn on the Arctic Monkeys and jump in the shower. I do my makeup and add winged eyeliner for a special touch. I do Jen's with fake eyelashes and she obsesses over it. We put on the outfits Jen brought earlier and it's already 9:30 now so we decide to leave.

We reach the giant house which is already packed. Not two minutes of being in the house someone is already shoving drinks in our hands.

"Look there's Matty," Jen says looking across the room.

I look over at him to find him staring at me. I guess he saw us looking at him because he is now making his way to us.

"Hey ladies, how long have you two been here?" he says with accent which I didn't really notice earlier.

"Uhm about 10 minutes," I say and some of Matty's friends join our group.

"Okay good just wanted to make sure so I could be the first guy to tell you that you look hot tonight," Matty says as he studies my body.

"Uhhhhh thanks... Haha you look hot yourself tonight," I say obviously feeling more confident with the alcohol in my hand.

"Okay okay you two get a room I'm trying to get drunk not listen to you guys call each other hot!" a guy says to us.

"Adam shut up and go get drunk somewhere else," Matty says laughing.

"I'd rather stay her and get acquainted with your girl's friend."

"I'm Cami not his girl," I say a little embarrassed.

"Yeah..." Matty says staring at his feet.

"Okay then. Well I suggest we go sit over there," Adam I'm guessing is his name says pointing across the room.

Matty sits, I take a seat beside him, Jen beside me, and Adam on the other side of her. Matty has his arm around me when someone suggest we play truth or dare.

"Truth or dare, Cami?" Adam says.

"Truth."

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Nope."

"Y'all play this game like we're in middle school," Jen says.

"Okay well truth or dare, Jen?" I say with a smirk on my face.

"Dare duhh."

"I dare you to make out with that guy over there," I say pointing to the cute guy.

"Be back," she says.

"Oh god," Matty says

"What?" I say.

"He has a girlfriend and she will murder your friend if she finds out." Adam says for Matty.

"Oh well, Jen doesn't care she's half drunk," I say laughing.

By the last round of the game Jen doesn't have a shirt on and we've moved upstairs to Matty's room.

"I dare Matty to make out with Cami," Jen slurs out.

"I'd be happy to but I don't know if she'd like that," Matty says looking at me for approval.

"It's fine, a dare is a dare," I say nodding.

Matty's lips connect with mine, he slips his tongue into my mouth. The quick and passionate kiss lasted for what seems like a second and I want more when Adam says, "Its been like 10 minutes." Matty pulls away and I'm left breathless.
